Yurii: can you clarify how that broke unattended upgrades?
I also don't see how a cron script might get different PATH values from one day
to the other.
I just had another instance of this bug on a third Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server
(this one a physical machine, not a VPS) where unattended-upgrades worked fine
before. And on that machine
# cat /proc/$(pidof cron)/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
looks fine to me.

Title:
Unattended upgrade fails with "Error in function"

Confirmed

The named log file, var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-
dpkg_2017-10-04_03:40:17.411277.log contains only this:
Error in function:
That's it.
Now given that ca-certificates is involved, I suspect this may be
related to non-ASCII filenames (see bug 1554365), but unlike that bug,
here the upgrade fails instead of succeeding, and the actual error is
not shown anywhere.
